Hemp bedding is perfect for animals. Comprised of the processed and chopped stalks of the field crop, Industrial Hemp. It has minimal dust, and controls odors making it a healthy option for many animals including caged birds, chickens and chicks. It is sustainable, perfect for use in the deep litter method.

Very Absorbent: Hemp bedding will absorb 4x its own weight, 2 times more absorbent than pine shavings, which makes it an excellent choice for horse bedding and more. Your animals will stay dry longer than when straw or wood is used. Lasting much longer means you will spend less time cleaning as well as less time and money cleaning up after your animals.

Low Dust: Hemp produces significantly fewer dust particles than straw or wood shavings. Allergy sufferers, animal and human alike will appreciate less exposure to particulates that trigger allergies. Low dust is critical to limiting life-threatening respiratory problems. Hemp helps keep mold and mildew at bay longer than common bedding materials.

Reduces Odor: Hemp traps odors associated with ammonia smells in horse stalls, chicken houses and anywhere pets produce pesky odors.

Biodegradable: Hemp bedding decomposes faster than wood chips or saw dust. Only paper decomposes faster than hemp.

Industrial hemp Is sustainable and green: Hemp produces four times as much pulp as trees per acre and can be renewed annually. It has the highest yield per acre of any other fiber crop.

Beneficial for Rabbits, Cats, Hamsters, Guinea Pigs, Chickens, Ducks, Chicks, Horses, Lambs, Snakes, any animal that requires bedding will benefit from this material.
